Reviving an old thread…
If that is so, then why does
tell application "BBEdit"
tell text document 1
set OPT to {search mode:grep, starting at top:true, wrap around:false,
backwards:false, case sensitive:false, match words:false, extend
selection:false}
replace "a" using "b" options OPT
end tell
end tell
generate <error "BBEdit got an error: \"a\" doesn’t understand the replace
message." number -1708 from "a">, while the same script with "text window
1" instead of "text document 1" works without any problems?
(BBEdit 10.5.1, Mac OS X 10.7.5)
Thanks.
